So, I am a lifeguard/swim instructor and this is the second summer we got this suit. It's awful. I have worn this suit 8 times, and the 'guard' has already peeled off. Last year, every single female guard had theirs rip. Mine only lasted 5 weeks. This one has already been sagging/stretched out, and I ordered small. If you are looking to save money, this is not the suit to do it with as you will have to replace it.

Feels true to size

As a lifeguard, I greatly appreciate this suit. The material is soft, fully lined (read: completely opaque and thicker than single-layer suits), stretchy enough to avoid those uncomfortable lines at my shoulder and legs, but also reasonably supportive. It is not functional as a practice-suit, but it is not intended to be one; this is the most comfortable suit I have ever worn for 4-hour standing shifts at a muggy indoor swimming pool. My coworkers commented on the professional appearance of the suit and they all want to buy one for themselves.

The swimsuit wears well, and the straps don't rub which is nice. However, the suit itself wears out quickly and the lettering comes off just as quick. The suit should be made to be worn every day because a life guard works everyday.

Good for not getting inBy

As a lifeguard and swim instructor who also swims competitively, I know the importance of a good quality suit- I have since I began swimming on a team. I ordered this about halfway through the summer with several practice suits to gear up for the final shifts of the summer and the beginning of the high school season. About six weeks later, the letters hadn't peeled- but the elastic was gone. Since I co-teach with my male best friend fairly often, having elastic in the chest is fairly (read: INCREDIBLY) important. It also rides up when I wear it to guard, leading to awkward wedgies that last the majority of my shift. It was a great cheap suit, but not built to last. It's a-okay for guarding, but definitely not teaching.

Great Suit for Long TorsoBy

I'm very pleased with this suit and especially the price. I have a long torso and need a good fit because I hate when suits ride up. This one is cut long and has good coverage for the behind. Also I am large busted and coverage is good up top as well, without looking "mumsy". The fabric is double layered, so you don't feel like you are exposing yourself to the public. The double layers have a comfortable figure firming effect, which is wonderful for this 51 year old lifeguard.
